AUS Student Housing
Welcome to your home away from home!
|
Campus housing is normally the most convenient place for students to reside while studying at any university. At AUS, this is no exception; over 2,000 students live on campus and enjoy the proximity to the academic buildings, library, food court and Sports Complex.
The living environment is very rich in multicultural experiences and has a good mix of social and academic activities. The residential halls provide opportunities for residents to improve their leadership, communication and social skills, which enhance their academic development.
The Student Residential Life Department encourages resident students to nurture community spirit and participate in all the activities held in the residential halls. Resident students are taught to value their rights and respect the rights of others, too.
